Damn straight Alex gets a 300K bonus, that's just making up for 300. Dude deserves a 3 millions bonus, took 300 short notice, took Connors spot short notice. Alex is the face of the UFC.

@@giacalonebuilding4443 Guardiola or Mourinho were not big famous players to became one of the biggest coaches of all times. If u watched the whole video. Plinio said coaching alex is more like guiding him to express his potential and helping with training and creating strategies, he couldn't teach or correct him. Plinio has a masterclass game iq, same as glover and alex. Being around a bunch of smart guys, talking about fight, sharing ideas and strats, opponent weakness, to build Alex's best version. Not saying he is the best mma coach rn, but your point doesnt make sense.
